Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites

I just got my first ever issue of Health magazine (thanks Aunt Nancy!) and when I saw these I immediately wanted to make them. They’re fast and easy to make and offer a quick sweet treat you can grab right from the freezer! Since the serving size contains half a banana, these little bites are also pretty filling. You can halve the recipe to make less if you’d like and if you want to play with the toppings you could always crush up some nuts, M&Ms or other candies to use in place of the coconut or sprinkles (may change the P+ value). I thought these made a fun little treat!

Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites

Ingredients:

Directions:

Cut bananas into 1” rounds and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet covered with wax paper. Freeze for at least one hour.

When bananas are frozen, place shredded coconut into a small dish and the sprinkles into another. In a small bowl, microwave the chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and completely smooth (mine took one minute).

Dip each banana round halfway into the chocolate and then either into the coconut or the sprinkles and place it back onto the baking sheet covered with wax paper. When all bananas are dipped, place baking sheet back in the freezer for at least 15 minutes or until chocolate is set.

Just made these tonight and absolutely love them. I like how creative you can get. I made some of mine with white chocolate too. I’ve also used the 100 cal. oreo packets, broken them up into pieces, and used that as a topping. Soooooo good!

I could not get the white chocolate chips to melt properly. Also, as I went along I had trouble also with the chocolate not sticking. I think I needed to freeze the bananas longer than one hour. Also, the next time, I think I will melt the chocolate in a pot rather than the microwave???
